Granted in the cities the visual change will be tougher to see. Energy costs will be lower ( more green buildings, more solar, some wind ) so that econ savings may be very visible.

The real visual econ change will be in the countrysides. Perhaps moreso in remote rural regions than others. Rangeland and savannah is likely the largest permanent sink, thus some dough will flow to those areas that have none now. There are approx 15 Billion acres of savannah, rangelands....not a huge soil offset root zone sequester per acre...but alot of acres.

China has dirty air, USA has dirty air and USA/China conjugation means even more dirty air unless they recognize that, offset it, and start cleaning up.

USA is upside down right at $6 trillion Asia dollars. To move a bunch of that dough takes cleaner air recognition by the supposed "powers that be" and offsets.

China buys offsets EU, EU buys USA, as weather moves west to east. The monetary imbalance corrects some flowing east to west then. Thus global economy still flows...Gets greener though ( and all without a default or war too).

Big deal is the air gets cleaner too by the whole afore process.

There would be no reason say Mexico, China or both, would not be the World's leading suppliers of say solar shingles etc.
